The City of Lost Souls is the fifth book in the Mortal Instruments series.  This book contains the first part of the dramatic conclusion, which is finished in the next (final) book of the series.

Sebastian is missing and Clary needs to find him before it is too late.  She asks the Fair Folk Queen for her assistance in finding him.  The Queen reluctantly agrees to help, but the assistance comes at a steep price.  Clary must find and return the two Faerie rings.  They were stolen years ago and hidden deep within the institute library.  When she is deep within the library walls she discovers that Sebastian and Jace are bound by magic.  Can Clary free Sebastian from the enchantment?  Will the dark alliance with the Queen be revealed?  Readers need to prepare themselves for a suspenseful cliffhanger.


Anna C. age 14 recommends "Start this series at the beginning of Summer so you can read all of them without school interrupting."
